Sometimes we don't know what to do when our pets are sick and can't tell us what is happening to them. If they are alert there is nothing to be worry about. If they ate something that did not agree with their intestines it's better to make them fast for a few hours and later give them a bland diet. Here is a great recipe from Placervillevet.com


"Bland diet for vomiting dogs
Mix one and a half cups of cooked white rice with one half cup of cooked chicken or turkey meat (no grease, no skin). Boiled or baked potato may be substituted for the rice".

Here is another recipe for diarrhea

"Bland diet for dogs with diarrhea:

Mix one and a half cups of cooked white rice or potato with one half cup of cottage cheese. Remove the liquid from cottage cheese by squeezing it between several layers of paper towel".

I know that when dogs or cats are not feeling well, they like to eat grass and don't want to eat their food. I have two dogs and a cat.

Hope this help. Obviously your dog can get dehydrated if they are having diarrhea and or vomiting for more than a day. If your dog seems to be despondent then please take him or her to the vet.
